Trump Announces Major Step on Iran, Strait of Hormuz Crisises

Iran has agreed to open the Strait of Hormuz and the United States and Israel will engage in a two-week ceasefire, President Donald Trump announced Tuesday.

President Trump said that Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir helped him orchestrate the deal.

“Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks,” the president wrote. “This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE!”

“The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East,” he added.
